[1] Evidently, the part of Phokis that surrounds Tithorea and Delphi was named that way, from the earliest times onweard, after a Corinthian man, Phokos son of Ornytion. Not many years afterwards, the name was given to the entire region of what is today called Phokis. It happened when people from Aegina sailed over to this region in their ships ships, accompanied by Phokos, the son of Aiakos.

[1]
It is plain that such part of Phocis as is around Tithorea and Delphi was so named in very ancient days after a Corinthian, Phocus, a son of Ornytion. Not many years afterwards, the name established itself as the received title of what is today called Phocis , when the Aeginetans had disembarked on the land with Phocus the son of Aeacus.
